Fine, but how does this support your statement above to which I

The 8-bit ASCII could be generated using a digital multiplexer.
If one had a 10-bit digital multiplexer chip, one could use an
ASCII byte stream into it to generate serial ASCII. That's eight
separate input bit data streams being time-multiplexed into one
output data stream and that comes under the definition of multiplexing.

One problem here is the age of my vocabulary. When I learned and
worked on this stuff, there were digital multiplexers and decoders,
i.e. the word "encoder" was not in common use yet. Reference:
"Fundamentals of Logic Design", 2nd edition, Charles H. Roth, Jr.,
copyright 1979, pages 184-190. "Multiplexers" and "decoders" are
described in detail but absolutely no mention of "encoders" anywhere
in the book. Back then, "encoders" were included in the definition
of "multiplexers".
